Posted Jul 24, 2006

Who will start at quarterback for North Carolina this season is unclear, but tailback Ronnie McGill has only one request of either Joe Dailey or Cam Sexton. As long as they know how to hand the ball off, we'll be fine," McGill said with a laugh at Sunday's ACC Football Kickoff. With the uncertainty about center and new offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti taking over, McGill expects to be the workhorse of an offense that was once famous for producing 1,000-yard rushers.
